Headers are not displayed in some parts

Question

In fact, I have a problem in the headers. In chapter 1 and 2 there are no problems everything is fine but in the table of contents, list of figures and list of tables there are no headers and in the introduction part it's displayed chapter 0. List of figures which doesn't make sense. Here is the code:

\immediate\write18{makeindex \jobname.nlo -s nomencl.ist -o \jobname.nls}
\documentclass[12pt]{report}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{lineno}
\usepackage{array}
\newcolumntype{L}{>{$}l<{$}}
\newcolumntype{m}{>{\displaystyle}l}
\usepackage{cclicenses}
\usepackage{makecell}
\usepackage{setspace}
\usepackage{titlesec}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\usepackage{nomencl}

\setcounter{secnumdepth}{4}

\usepackage[justification=centering]{caption}
\usepackage{etoolbox}
\usepackage{titleps}
\newpagestyle{mystyle}{%
\headrule\sethead{\textsc \chaptername\ \thechapter. \textsc \chaptertitle}
{}{}
\setfoot{}{\thepage}{}\footrule}
\pagestyle{mystyle}
\usepackage[a4paper,right=20mm,left=25mm,top=20mm, bottom=20mm]{geometry}
\makeatletter
\titleformat{\chapter}[display]
{\normalfont\huge\bfseries}{\chaptertitlename\ \thechapter}{20pt}{\Huge}
\titlespacing*{\chapter}{0pt}{0pt}{20pt}
\makeatother
\title {Tile of the report }
\titleformat{\paragraph}
{\normalfont\normalsize\bfseries}{\theparagraph}{1em}{}
\titlespacing*{\paragraph}
{0pt}{3.25ex plus 1ex minus .2ex}{1.5ex plus .2ex}
\begin{document}
\renewcommand\arraystretch{1.3}
\doublespacing
\maketitle
\tableofcontents
\chapter*{Publications}
\chapter*{acknowledegement}

\chapter*{table list}
\listoffigures
\renewcommand{\nomname}{abbreviation list}
\printnomenclature
\chapter*{Introduction }
\lipsum
\chapter{state of art}
\lipsum
\chapter{theory}
\lipsum
\end{document}

Without testing: \chaptername\ \thechapter. \textsc \chaptertitle should probably be leftmark? — Johannes_B, Mar 18 '18 at 11:36
I have used \headrule\sethead{\textsc \chaptername\ \thechapter. \textsc \chaptertitle — twimo, Mar 18 '18 at 11:39
I saw that. That's why i suggested to use \leftmark. I didn't test your example, it is huge and does unnecessary stuff that has nothing to do with the problem. — Johannes_B, Mar 18 '18 at 11:41
Just look at my first comment (sorry, a \ is missing there). Use A instead of B (A and B being the highlithed things). — Johannes_B, Mar 18 '18 at 11:46
Yes but I don't see any difference it's always \chaptername\ \thechapter. \textsc \chaptertitle — twimo, Mar 18 '18 at 11:48
@Johannes_B: The interest of titlesec/titleps is precisely to avoid the hassle of the marks system. — Bernard, Mar 18 '18 at 11:53
\sethead{\leftmark} removes the head from the introduction page. Why? It is a starred chapter. The artifact you are seeing is gone. I cannot reproduce what you are describing. — Johannes_B, Mar 18 '18 at 11:53
@Bernard Ah right, i remember why i don't use those packages. — Johannes_B, Mar 18 '18 at 11:54
So how can I include headers in introduction and list of figures,tables and table of contents ? — twimo, Mar 18 '18 at 12:23
I think your question is two-fold. When a chapter starts, the header is empty by design (plain). You would need to renew this pagestyle. — Johannes_B, Mar 18 '18 at 12:37
Do you rely on package titleps? Or would an alternative package do? Personally i like scrlayer-scrpage. I cannot give a solution for titleps, you would have to ask @Bernard about it. — Johannes_B, Mar 18 '18 at 13:53
Yes if it can solve my problem why not you can post the code with scelayer-scrpage — twimo, Mar 18 '18 at 14:09

Here is an example using package scrlayer-scrpage. Chapter Alpaca is equivalent to your Introduction chapter and just shows the title in the header (it isn't numbered). Numbered chapters have the word Chapter and the respective number in the header, alalong with the title.

If you decide not to have the header on the page a chapter starts, remove the asterisk from ihead.

I would suggest to make the top and bottom margins a bit bigger.

\documentclass[12pt]{report}
\usepackage{lipsum}
\usepackage{unnumberedtotoc}%https://github.com/johannesbottcher/unnumberedtotoc/
\usepackage[automark,
plainheadsepline,
headsepline,
plainfootsepline,
footsepline,
markcase=ignoreupper]{scrlayer-scrpage}
\clearpairofpagestyles
\ihead*{\leftmark}
\cfoot*{\pagemark}
\setkomafont{pageheadfoot}{\scshape}
\usepackage{titlesec}
\usepackage[a4paper,right=20mm,left=25mm,top=20mm, bottom=20mm,%
head=14.5pt,%<- new
]{geometry}
\titleformat{\chapter}[display]
{\normalfont\huge\bfseries}{\chaptertitlename\ \thechapter}{20pt}{\Huge}
\titlespacing*{\chapter}{0pt}{0pt}{20pt}
\titleformat{\paragraph}
{\normalfont\normalsize\bfseries}{\theparagraph}{1em}{}
\titlespacing*{\paragraph}
{0pt}{3.25ex plus 1ex minus .2ex}{1.5ex plus .2ex}
\begin{document}
\tableofcontents
\addchap{Alpaca}
\lipsum
\lipsum
\chapter{Introduction}
\lipsum
\lipsum
\chapter{state of art}
\lipsum
\chapter{theory}
\lipsum
\end{document}

I am curious why you are using titlesec in the first place? The result seems to be the same to the default? – Johannes_B Mar 18 '18 at 14:23
How can I add the unnumberedtotoc package in MiKTex – twimo Mar 18 '18 at 14:29
@twimo https://tex.stackexchange.com/questions/1137/where-do-i-place-my-own-sty-or-cls-files-to-make-them-available-to-all-my-te or https://github.com/johannesbottcher/unnumberedtotoc/#downloading-this-package – Johannes_B Mar 18 '18 at 14:32
But to be honest, the package is not directly related to the problem, but solves the follow up problem you would have had. – Johannes_B Mar 18 '18 at 14:36
I still have problems in installing the package – twimo Mar 18 '18 at 14:55

@twimo Put it in the same folder your project is in. – Johannes_B Mar 18 '18 at 14:57
